Burberry Releases Rainbow Check in support of LGBTQ charities

Why? Because for his final show, Burberry’s outgoing Creative Director Christopher Bailey will do a tribute to charities which help to protect LGBTQ youths and fight discrimination. Signifying inclusiveness and joy, the A/W 18 collection will feature a rainbow check. The collection will be available immediately after the runway collection at London Fashion Week.

Burberry has also made an undisclosed sum of donations to three non-profits, all of which aim to broaden awareness, mentor and make resources available to LGBTQ communities worldwide. Bailey has said, “There has never been a more important time to say that in our diversity lies our strength and our creativity.” Bailey, who joined the house in 2001, will leave the house at the end of next month.
